I swear this really happened. A few weeks ago, I had an idea about a topic regarding people listening to music under a language that they do not understand. As I was about to click the new discussion tab, I saw the same topic that I was about to write. He/she also thought about japanese anime music. It's so much of a concidence. It's amazing that another person was thinking of the same thing I was thinking. So I did not continue my new discussion. What are your thoughts? Has this happened to you?

Yes, it happens to me many times. With the help of this site and the strenght of internet people around the globe gets closer dispite of distance. I see that you feel amazed of the fact that not only you who think of the same thing, we have so many similarities in this life, even faces of different race has similarities to some, attitude and characteristics.

That's true. Somewhere in the world, somebody is thinking about the same thing that your thinking or doing what your doing. The chances are too high. With the population of Mylotters going up , the chances of a discussions being repeated is way too high. Thanks for the response

no, not yet...but what happened was after i posted a discussion here on myLot, after several days, someone had made almost the same discussion. i don't know if that person didn't notice that i already had posted that discussion ahead of him/her or maybe it was really his/her intent to make the same discussion. i have notice that there are many incidence of discussions that are being duplicated if not intentionally, accidentally or whatever.

I agree. I have also posted discussions that have been made by other mylotter. It was not my intention though. It was my mistake of not checking the early posted discussions. That's Plagiarism. And I am very much against it. Thanks for the response

Hi king4aday! It's really hard to start a discussion here in mylot because of the huge population (166,000 users). So it is really common to find out that you have the same idea or topic to discuss with other users. Though I think that the topic you have wanted to share is not ordinary, but still there was someone who have beat you to post it. What more if you will just start something that is very common and ordinary (you will find that there were many same topics here if you will look and search for them). Have a nice day!

Hi king4aday, good day to you. Well, here i go again i will make a response again here in your discussion. Hehe well, that is a great concidence that you the topic you are thinking is also thinking by the other person, that's really amazing and fun, but atleast you know that topic you will make is interesting because there is also someone, thinking that topic too. Well honestly speaking, as i notice here in this site mylot, there are so many topics that is related to our discussion but it was posted earlier that's why it is in the last pages of the discussion. By the way, i am more on making a response than making a discussion that's why, i never encounter that situation, that you were talking about but may be i will happy too if that thing will happen to me. The reason why? I'm more on response is because i never have a idea what topic is interesting when you will make a discussion. That's why, i'm more in making response to many discussion because i notice that some of discussion are so very easy to be answer and you can enhance or make it long your response in order for you to earn money, and last is because with making a response it is more easy because it is simple as you are communicating to other people. Even that thing is happen to you, why don't you try to make a discussion even you have a similar discussion at the same time because i think you have a different type of writting for that discussion. Well that's all my response to this discussion entitled "has this ever happened to you in mylot". I hope i give a good response. Happy posting to us and happy earning. . . Good luck to our earning career. God bless us always and have a nice day to all our co-mylotter. . . =)

I really am not a topic starter in here, but I think that is possible with the number of members in here there is a possibility that you will have same minded people at the same time you wrote that post of yours. That is why before I post I usually search on the topic to see if there are others who have the same idea as I have and if there is one I usually share my ideas with that post.
